In response to Low wages/Let's wake up! - ESL discussion (jinchafa)

In Thailand, it'd be difficult to job hop. That's because when one is through with a job here, be it because of a firing, resignation, or even contract completion, he must return to the school district's main office to turn in his work permit and a special form completed by his school. This form states the relationship is over and the reason it's over. This can take a day or two when the reason is completion or firing, but can be impossible in the case of a resignation. If one quits on his school during a term, the school director may decide to screw him by not filling out the form. What happens then? He must fill out more paperwork and wait for it to clear before going to work somewhere else. This could take a week.

Sometimes we don't have a week if we are going to jump on a good job.
